Discard pile and SO Form a spy network

Recommended Posts

So we have always played with the discard pile faceup, so anyone who wish can read the most recenly played action card, but recently had a bit of a quarrel about the secret objective "Form a spy network" so I have a few questions for clarification. Which is also applicable when you have to discard more than 1 action card at the same time.

First if all is the discard pile supposed to be faceup or facedown?

Second when a person discards more than 1 action card, are other players allowed to read the discarded cards other than the top card`? Assuming the discard pile is faceup.

As far as I can remember, any face up pile is completely open knowledge and can be looked through at any time on your turn. It may be a hold over from some other game, but that is how our group has always played.
